Chapter 83: Interviewing for Rent!

  After Gao Fei moved out of the Yan Shan Cement Plant's shantytown, he was arranged by Yan Hong to stay in a hotel.

  If he hadn't returned the bank card to Yan Hong, and Shen Yinbing hadn't changed the gold card password out of jealousy, he wouldn't have looked for a house, but would have moved into a five-star hotel long ago.

  Money is of no use if not spent, it's a waste when you die — this is Gao Fei's consumption creed.

  "Right next to the company, let me think."

  Old Wang regarded Gao Fei as a benefactor and was so grateful to him that he would have been willing to sacrifice himself for him. When he finally had the opportunity to help him with something, he naturally did it with great care.

  Gao Fei was nonchalant: "Actually, it's not that urgent, waiting for news on this aspect won't be too late."

  "Hey, come to think of it, I've got a great idea!"

  Old Wang suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "There is a printing workshop in the hutong on Beiyuan Street, not far from my home. I saw a rental notice there when I went to work this morning. It's on the second floor, the environment and transportation are good, and the price is cheap, only 800 yuan per month, with free bathing. However, the only drawback is that it's a shared rental house."

  Gao Fei didn't mind: "800 yuan is also okay. Shared rental housing is no problem, anyway I'm just a single person, as long as there's a bed it's fine. Hehe, if luck is good, maybe can share rent with beautiful woman."

  Old Wang smiled with a hint of sarcasm and nodded: "As you wish, then - let's go take a look. I'm afraid if we're late, someone else will move in."

  Gao Fei stood up: "Go now? I don't mind, aren't you afraid of affecting your work?"

  "Hey, I'm fine, just a word with Cori and that's it. What about you, aren't you also the deputy department head?"

  Old Wang waved his hand generously: "Go on, if you're going, then go quickly!"

  ……

  Driving Shen Yinbing's white BMW, Gao Fei and Lao Wang arrived at the west section of Beiyuan Street.

  Just as Old Wang said, the conditions here are not bad at all. The roadsides are lined with dense trees, and just a short distance away is the bus station. A few hundred meters further west is the Ginza supermarket.

  Seeing the red paper still posted on the street lamp post, Old Wang said, "Fortunately we came a step earlier, and no one has 'removed the notice' yet."

  Gao Fei parked the car by the side of the road and got out with Old Wang, arriving in front of a rental advertisement.

  Old Wang cursed as soon as he took a glance: "Damn, why didn't I notice this when I saw the ad this morning? Renting a house outside has so many problems and you even have to go through an interview! Does the landlord think he's the boss of a company or something?"

  Gao Fei looked carefully and only then saw that under the big characters "Room 129, monthly rent 800" there was a line of small print: Any tenant must go through an interview before moving in.

  "Hey, interesting, interviewing for renting a house, it's really the first time I've seen this."

  Gao Fei was very interested: "Come on, let's go in and take a look. What are the interview questions?"

  "High class, otherwise we... Alright, then let's go for an interview."

  Old Wang originally wanted to say that he would find another place to rent a house, but after seeing Gao Fei's great interest, he didn't say anything else.

  The two walked into the alley and went dozens of meters in. Old Wang pointed at the doorplate number and said, "It's here."

  Gao Fei looked up and saw that it was a two-story small building, with a gatehouse downstairs, on which hung a sign reading "Qinghe Printing Workshop".

  The window on the south side of the second floor is open, with several pots of fresh flowers on it. A red QQ car is parked at the door, looking about 70% new.

  After parking the car, Old Wang led the way up a few flights of stairs and pushed open the slightly ajar glass door.

  Like all print shops, the house was filled with copying, printing and computer equipment.

  However, the house was very clean inside, and on the walls were hung several paintings of flowers, birds, mountains, and water that looked elegant.

  When Gao Fei and the other person walked in, a woman wearing a blue work uniform, with a white hat on her head and a white mask on her face, dressed like a knitting worker, was facing away from the door, cutting a foam advertising board on the chopping board.

  Old Wang looked around and saw no one else except for this female worker, so he cleared his throat.

  The female worker turned around and saw Gao Fei, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly returned to calm: "Excuse me, are you here for photocopying, or do you want to make color pages and advertisements?"

  Old Wang replied: "We're here to rent a house."

  "Renting? Oh, I'm the landlord."

  The female worker put down the tool in her hand and said faintly: "Did you see the rental conditions when you came in?"

  "Uh-huh, I see. Don't know how to go about the interview?"

  Gao Fei looked at the female worker, and his eyes lit up: This woman's eyes are really beautiful, like a spring pool, very comfortable to look at. With such beautiful eyes, she must be pretty too?

  The woman replied: "Firstly, one must have a pleasant appearance and those with an unpleasant face are prohibited from entering."

  He raised his chin and asked with a smile: "I'm still quite good-looking, right?"

  The woman worker said faintly: "It's okay, but the buttery aroma is too strong, and there's a bit of a suspicion that it's not quite refined."

  Gao Fei's old face turned red, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his chin: As a seven-foot-tall man, would I be like those effeminate guys?

  Old Wang was unwilling: "Hey, how can you talk like that! Are you renting out the house or taking in a son-in-law?"

  The woman frowned and looked at Old Wang, saying: "If you think I'm talking nonsense, you can leave."

  "Leave then leave, you think it's just your own rental house?"

  Old Wang was huffing and puffing, tugging at the hem of his high-collared garment, about to turn around and leave, when he heard him say: "Old Wang, hold on a minute. Boss's wife, please continue with the second item."

  "The second rule," said the landlady, leaning on the counter, "if the tenant is a male, he must have strong moral character, or in other words, be a gentleman."

  The boss's wife explained again: "Because this house is where I and my daughter live, there are no men in the family."

  Gao Fei nodded: "Hmm, this can be understood. Don't worry, although I look like a refined and cultured person, but in fact I am very upright and never bully or deceive good women."

  "This is just hearsay."

  The boss's wife seemed to give a low laugh, with a hint of disdain in her laughter.

  Old Wang was really annoyed and said with a dark face: "Then what do you want to do?"

  The landlady walked back and forth: "It's simple, to achieve this point, pay an additional deposit of 2,000 yuan. If the tenant wants to do something bad, then forget about getting this money back."

  Gao Fei raised his hand to stop Old Wang from saying anything else: "This point can be understood. Is there any other condition?"

  According to Lao Wang's intention, he should turn around and leave: Hey, brother is here to give you money, why are you still nagging.

  However, Gao Fei thought the boss's wife was very interesting and wanted to see if he met her conditions.

  The landlady raised her right hand, which was wearing a glove, and extended two fingers: "Thirdly, tenants are not allowed to bring people of the opposite sex here. Fourthly, tenants must not stay out later than 10 o'clock at night; if they do, they needn't come back. That's all."

  Gao Fei nodded: "Oh, the last three conditions are no problem, I can do it, but the first one...I guess what I say doesn't count."

  The boss's wife glanced at him and said lightly: "You look okay."

  "Thank you for the compliment, boss's wife."

  Gao Fei smiled and said: "Hey, now that I'm done, can I go see the house?"

  He had just finished saying this when Old Wang's mobile phone rang.

  Old Wang took out his mobile phone, looked at the incoming call display, and quickly answered: "Director Li, you're looking for me? Oh, I... ah, okay, I'll be right back, no more than twenty minutes!"

  After hanging up the phone, Old Wang said with a guilty face: "Gao Fei, I'm really sorry. The logistics department suddenly received a batch of goods and they need me, the deputy director, to be present for inspection. You see..."

  "You'd better hurry back first then. Here, you drive the car back and I'll take a taxi later, don't decline, your matter is important."

  Gao Fei didn't say a word and threw the BMW car key to Old Wang.

  Old Wang apologized again and then hastily left.

  After seeing Old Wang off, Gao Fei looked around the house: "Your business here seems to be very quiet."

  "I don't have anywhere to spend money either, let's just make do."

  The boss's wife said, turned around and untied the white apron, and also took off her hat.

  A head of raven-black and smooth hair suddenly cascaded down like a waterfall.

  What a beautiful head of black hair - Gao Fei secretly admired for a moment, and the boss's wife took off her mask covering her face.

  Then, Gao Fei's eyes suddenly widened: "Ah, it's you!?"

  Gao Fei never dreamed that this woman, dressed like a textile worker, would turn out to be the stunning beauty he saw at the Dog Not Reasoning Baozi shop that morning!

  This morning, because Shen Yinbing was there, Gao Fei didn't have the chance to carefully appreciate the beauty, and it had already become a regret for him.

  But it seems that God has treated him well, not only letting him see the interpretation of red makeup again, but also having the possibility of seeing her every day in the future.

  The house must be rented out, it must!

  Never mind the rent is only eight hundred, even if it's eight thousand, eighty thousand, whoever dares to compete with me for it, I'll make sure to take them down - at the moment he saw Jie Hongyan, Gao Fei had already made up his mind.

  Gaofei's surprise was met with a calm smile from Hongyan: "It's me, Gaofei. Come on up and take a look at the house with me."

  "Oh, oh."

  Gao Fei nodded and then realized that staring at someone was very impolite, so he quickly turned his head: "Hey, how did you know my name is Gao Fei?"

  Hongyan put down the mask and other things on the chopping board, turned around and walked towards the stairs: "Just now your companion called you by name before leaving."

  "Oh, haha, I totally forgot."

  Gao Fei snorted in laughter, raised his hand and gave himself a light slap on the mouth. In his heart, he cursed: "Damn it! Look at you, when you see a beauty, you become so flustered, it's really infuriating!" However, thinking about it again, this red-dressed girl's figure is indeed quite appealing, just looking at those long legs, they're almost as good as Shen Yinbing's. Hmm, this small waist, the way she sways her hips is so charming, it's a feast for the eyes. If she were wearing that black cheongsam, it would be even better, then I could take advantage of the opportunity to see...

  Gao Fei followed behind Jie Hongyan, staring at Jie Hongyan's slender waist as she swayed from side to side. He shook his head repeatedly: It's strange, she looks so young and beautiful, with a great figure, how could she have a daughter as big as Zhang Wanwan? She must be adopted, huh? Yeah, definitely adopted, that yellow-haired girl doesn't look like her at all.

  The beautiful woman in front, Xie Hongyan, had no idea that Gao Fei was having lustful thoughts about her from behind. She simply walked with elegant steps, swaying her pretty waist, and led him to the second floor.
